1.1 Preamble The Programme Document specifies that there should be three calls for research concept notes and research proposals. Therefore, the second call for concept notes was made through Majira of 21st October 2011, Guardian of 26th October 2011 and Daily News of 28th October 2011(see Appendix 1). The deadline for submission of both hard and electronic copy was 25th November 2011 at 15:30. The call mainly focused on thematic area 1: Development of appropriate climate change mitigation and adaptation strategies in forestry, other land uses, ecosystems and biodiversity management. The call was meant to cover areas that are not addressed in the ongoing research activities which included:
• Modelling of impacts of climate change and management scenarios in forestry, land-use, ecosystem and biodiversity,
• Assessment of innovative agricultural land use and farming systems for adaptation to and mitigation of climate change to support REDD initiatives,
• Development and testing of various range land management strategies for the purpose of reducing pressure on forest resources for adaptation and mitigation to climate change.
• In addition to proposals addressing thematic area 1, some proposals on “Policy and legal framework analysis of climate change adaptation and mitigation with emphasis on economic efficiency, ecological effectiveness and wider political legitimacy” will be considered.
1.2 Evaluation/Review Process A total of 48 concept notes were received (see Appendix 2) and screened to ensure that only the concept notes that met the requirements of the call were to be shortlisted. A total of 31 concept notes were short listed (see Appendix 3). Nine reviewers were consulted and agreed to review the concept notes. The concept notes and subsequent reports were sent electronically. The names of the reviewers are:
(1) Dr Anne Mugaas, Norges Vel (2) Dr Stein Bie (3) Dr Ladislaus Nshubemuki (4) Dr Jeremiah Haki (5) Dr Burhan Nyenzi (6) Prof Kingiri Senelwa, Moi University (7) Prof Godwin Kowero, African Forest Forum (8) Mr. Trygve Refsdal, (9) Dr Mahamane Larwanou, African Forest Forum
Each concept note was sent to at least two reviewers. The reviewers evaluated the concept notes based on the approved guidelines modified by adding a section 1.3 requesting the reviewers to indicate the weakness and strengths of each concept note and recommendation (see Appendix 4). Reports from reviewers were summarized for each concept note as shown in Appendix 5. A total of 18 out of the 31 concept notes scored 60% and above thus considered eligible for development into full proposals (Table 1).

APPENDICES
Appendix 1: Second call for concept notes
CLIMATE CHANGE IMPACTS, ADAPTATION AND MITIGATION PROGRAMME IN TANZANIA
SECOND CALL FOR CONCEPT NOTES ON
RESEARCH PROPOSALS FOR CCIAM COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH PROJECTS
1.0 BACKGROUND The Royal Norwegian Government and the Government of the United Republic of Tanzania have signed an agreement to support the participation of Tanzania in the development and implementation of the programme to address challenges of climate change with the purpose of increasing Tanzania’s participation in the mitigation of/and adaptation of the effects of climate change. Developing, optimizing and sustaining readiness and adequacy in capacity to address the challenges brought by climate change will require a number of interventions through raising awareness, training to build capacity at various levels, and conducting research and outreach activities. The research component has the following specific objectives which are translated into thematic areas: 1) Development of appropriate climate change mitigation and adaptation strategies in forestry, other land
uses, ecosystems and biodiversity management. 2) Assessment of climate change impacts and vulnerability on ecosystem services and livelihoods under REDD
initiatives. 3) Policy and legal framework analysis of climate change adaptation and mitigation with emphasis on
economic efficiency, ecological effectiveness and wider political legitimacy. This call shall mainly focus on thematic are 1: Development of appropriate climate change mitigation and adaptation strategies in forestry, other land uses, ecosystems and biodiversity management. It is anticipated that this will cover areas that are not addressed in the ongoing research activities. The will include:
Modelling of impacts of climate change and management scenarios in forestry, land-use, ecosystem and biodiversity
Assessment of innovative agricultural land use and farming systems for adaptation to and mitigation of climate change to support REDD initiatives.
15
Development and testing of various range land management strategies for the purpose of reducing pressure on forest resources for adaptation and mitigation to climate change
In addition to proposals addressing thematic area 1, some proposals on “Policy and legal framework analysis of climate change adaptation and mitigation with emphasis on economic efficiency, ecological effectiveness and wider political legitimacy” will be considered. 2.0 ELIGIBILITY The call is open to researchers in collaborating institutions in Tanzania and in Norway. There are four collaborating institutions in Tanzania namely; Tanzania Meteorological Agency (TMA), Sokoine University of Agriculture (SUA), University of Dar es Salaam (UDSM) and Ardhi University (ARU). There also collaborating institutions in Norway that are coordinated through the University of Life Sciences (UMB). Concept notes for collaborative research projects should be demand driven and aim at enhancing research activities related to mitigation and adaptation of climate change impacts with a strong emphasis on REDD. It is expected that prospective research projects may be conducted in areas where the REDD pilot projects areas will be undertaken. 3.0 FORMAT FOR DEVELOPING CONCEPT NOTES

Appendix 4: Guidelines used to evaluate Concept notes
GUIDELINES FOR EVALUATING CONCEPT NOTES
1.0 Overview A concept note is a brief outline of a proposed research. The concept note should: • Outline background, spell out research problem, objectives, methodology, location where the work is
expected to be carried out and indicative budget; • Identify the principal researcher and other researchers involved in the project, their qualifications,
specific roles and their track records; and • Not exceed 3 pages, excluding the attachments - with single spaced paragraphs and font size 12 Times
New Roman in Microsoft Word. If the concept note is accepted, one will be invited to prepare a full proposal. However, one may be asked to clarify certain issues before proceeding to the full proposal stage. In some cases, related concept notes may be advised to merge. The acceptance of the concept note will not guarantee that one’s proposal will ultimately be accepted for funding.
1. 2. Organization and Format The CCIAM Programme has three separate action research themes. Concept notes are invited from researchers from collaborating institutions intending to undertake action research on one of the thematic areas focusing on:
i) Development of appropriate climate change mitigation and adaptation strategies in forestry, other land uses, ecosystems and biodiversity management
ii) Assessment of climate change impacts and vulnerability on ecosystem services and livelihoods under REDD initiatives
iii) Analysis of policies and legal frameworks on climate change adaptation and mitigation with emphasis on economic efficiency, ecological effectiveness and wider political legitimacy.
Concept notes addressing more than one of the above themes are encouraged. The organization of the
concept note should be as outlined in Table 1.

PROPOSALS FOR CCIAM COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH
1.0 BACKGROUND The Royal Norwegian Government and the Government of the United Republic of Tanzania have signed an agreement to support the participation of Tanzania in the development and implementation of the programme to address challenges of climate change with the purpose of increasing Tanzania’s participation in the mitigation of and adaptation of the effects of climate change. Developing, optimizing and sustaining readiness and adequacy in capacity to address the challenges brought by climate change will require a number of interventions through raising awareness, training to build capacity at various levels, and conducting research and outreach activities. The research component has the following specific objectives which are translated into thematic areas: 1) Development of appropriate climate change mitigation and adaptation strategies in forestry,
other land uses, ecosystems and biodiversity management. Focus Areas for Research include
Quantification of the potential for forestry based carbon off-sets and carbon trading Development of forest carbon assessment and monitoring system Determine effective and efficient payment system for REDD in Tanzania Determine appropriate approach to limit deforestation and forest degradation in Tanzania for
its participation in REDD Modelling of impacts of climate change and management scenarios in forestry, land-use,
ecosystem and biodiversity Assessment of Small Holder Forestry Potential for Climate Change Mitigation, Adaptation and
Rural Development Financial analysis of Carbon sequestration and storage Development of strategic interventions for adaptation in forestry, and other land uses including
human settlements. Assessment of innovative agricultural land use and farming systems for adaptation to and
mitigation of climate change to support REDD initiatives. Development and testing of various range land management strategies for the purpose of
reducing pressure on forest resources for adaptation and mitigation to climate change. Modelling of impacts of climate change and management scenarios in forestry, land-use,
ecosystem and biodiversity Assessment of innovative agricultural land use and farming systems for adaptation to and
mitigation of climate change to support REDD initiatives. Development and testing of various range land management strategies for the purpose of
reducing pressure on forest resources for adaptation and mitigation to climate change
50
2.0 ELIGIBILITY The call is open to researchers from the four collaborating institutions in Tanzania namely; Tanzania Meteorological Agency (TMA), Sokoine University of Agriculture (SUA), University of Dar es Salaam (UDSM) and Ardhi University (ARU) along with Norwegian Institutions. Proposals for collaborative research projects should be demand driven and aim at enhancing research activities related to mitigation and adaptation of climate change impacts with a strong emphasis on REDD. Topics on cross-cutting issues including gender are strongly encouraged.
3.0 GUIDELINES FOR PREPARING RESEARCH PROPOSALS These guidelines are designed to help researchers to prepare full research proposals from approved concept notes. As stated in the preparation of concept notes, how well one plans the research project is critical to the success of the project. Adherence to these guidelines will increase the chances of the proposal to be accepted for funding. Before considering the guidelines it is important to understand the “what, how and why” elements of a research proposal. That is what is to be addressed by the proposed research; how the object will be realised and contribution of the proposed research. A research proposal is expected to provide a logical presentation of a research idea, illustrate the significance of the idea, show the idea's relationship to past research, and articulate the activities for the proposed research project. Furthermore, researchers are supposed to remember the fact that proposal is a stand-alone document. It is important to remember that reviewers and interested parties will be assessing one’s proposed research in their absence.
3.1. Organization and Format The research proposal to be submitted must contain the following elements
1. Cover page: The cover page should include the name of the lead institution hosting the applicant for the award and the name, title, mailing address, e-mail address, telephone, and fax numbers of researchers. Indicate who will be the principal investigator.
2. Project Abstract: (one page) Must include the following: (a) Project title and names, titles, and affiliations of Researchers (b) 150 – 200 word abstract (c) 3 – 5 keywords describing the proposed research (d) Project Period/Duration

Provide curriculum vitae for Principal Researcher (PR) and co-researchers (maximum three pages for each).
5. Budget and Cost Narrative and Additional Sources of Support (if any) The research grant should cover cost items including labour charges, subsistence allowance, transport, materials and supplies, literature acquisition, organizing seminars or workshops, training of students, data collection and analysis Standard rates for all budget items that are considered to be sufficient for carrying out research in Tanzania will be considered. Researchers are required to provide details on the number of days, number of researchers and rates used to calculate the costs. The grants provided under CCIAM will include minimal capital expenditure excluding purchase of vehicles. Provide budget notes on each cost item.
6. INVOLVEMENT OF POSTGRADUATE STUDENTS IN RESEARCH PROJECTS In addition to this announcement and call for research concept notes, the CCIAM programme will in April 2010 announce and invite applications for candidates with applicable qualifications to compete for award of Masters and PhD Scholarships. A total of 25 Masters and 17 PhD Scholarships will be made available for competition. Candidates granted such scholarships shall be required to conduct the research part of their studies within the approved CCIAM research projects based on the themes above. To that effect, each research project will be allocated at least two Masters students and at least one PhD student. Each such postgraduate student will come into the project with additional funds provided separately by the programme. Such funds shall be paid directly to the projects absorbing the students. Research projects are not expected to budget for maintenance costs or university fees for such students. The students will be coming into projects to provide additional human resource for implementation of the respective approved research project activities.

The External Evaluation Panel (EEP) reviewing these applications may recommend some modification to the selected or high-ranking proposals.
8.2 Other criteria to be considered during the evaluation Proposals submitted to the CCIAM Steering Committee shall be evaluated according to the criteria listed above. However, complementary or specific eligibility or evaluation criteria for each category of support will be considered during the evaluation process as narrated below: 1. Scientific quality: originality, innovativeness, feasibility. In the case of proposals involving the
development of software platforms and the recruitment of software developers, the capability of the teams to supervise this activity will be a key point in the evaluation.
2. Fostering strong linkages that demonstrate:
i. Interactions between disciplines and in particular between social and biotechnical sciences ii. That the research is focused on the thematic area exploiting the excellence of expertise from
partner institutions iii. How research team will work with at least one of the partner institutions
3. Contribution to international climate debate 4. Relevance to socio-economic and sustainable development issues. Recommendation for funding The Programme Management Team will recommend the winning proposals to CCIAM Joint Steering Committee for funding approval. The principal investigators will be notified of the fate of their proposals. Furthermore, the principal investigators will receive a summary of the reviewers’ comments. Dissemination of Research Results Dissemination is a vital part of the overall research exercise. Among others, the PMT will organize annual research workshops and seminars where researchers will present their preliminary and final research findings and receive critical feedback from other researchers. In addition, papers and poster presentations from other researchers outside the CCIAM programme will be invited. Researchers are also encouraged to disseminate the results of their research through other means including popular media. Research Clearance Researchers will arrange their own research clearance according to the established procedures of their institution. Research Ethics Beneficiaries of CCIAM grants will be expected to adhere to professional ethics. No information should be obtained by force or fraud. Whilst researchers are expected to co-operate with local political and administrative authorities in the course of their research, it would be counterproductive to make use of these authorities to force respondents to cooperate with the researchers. Evidence of systematic plagiarism (unacknowledged quotations from other research) or double funding of the same research project will lead to the immediate cancellation of funding.
